Overview

About 15 Cell Barnes Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

15 Cell Barnes Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 5QF). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 sits 313.1% above the 1999 sale of £114,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 63.1% below the postcode norm.
